Danger?Like another #5, Polly Farmer, Jeremy Cameron came to the club as an already highly-regarded recruit.
Like Polly he struggled with injury in his first year at Geelong.
Like Polly he went a huge way to delivering a premiership in his 2nd year with Geelong.
Maybe only Brad Ottens compares with Cameron for Geelong in the AFL era.
Danger?
The bloke has 4 more cows to fill with medalsAll he ever wanted was to settle down on a nice farm with some cows to hang premiership medals on. Glad we gave him that opportunity
And he can always get more cowsThe bloke has 4 more cows to fill with medals
Jezza, Danger, Tuohy, we have brought in the games genuine characters. They go alright on the park too!

The Emu certainly is a character, absolutely rapt he chose to come to Geelong. Helped deliver us premiership no.10 in his 2nd year at the club. The trade has already paid off not that their were any doubts about it at the time, we got him in a pretty good deal all things considered.
Meanwhile the swans are 0-3 in GFās since acquiring Buddy at the end of 2013, Iām sure they wouldāve hoped to have atleast 1 flag in their cabinet during Buddyās time there.
Lost the battle (a COVID flag*), won the war.Jezza, Norm, Holmes, Bruhn, Henry....2020 is an off-season for the ages.
Jezza has already more than satisfied the cost, but it could somehow look even better in a couple of weeks.
How amazing is it? We give up 3 first round picks and we're about to get two of them back in Henry and Bruhn.

But you compared cameron to ottens and ottens was around for many years before he won us a flag. So if he is comparable to ottens why not danger? Danger won a brownlow has been a vastly superior player to ottens.Depends on your parameters - as usual I am probably marking him harshly - his 2022 Finals series was Brilliant, let me be unequivocal.
Apart from being a tall left-footer who donned the #5 for Geelong, Polly and Cameron were recruited from other clubs as senior players and both key components of Premiership teams within their first two years of playing for Geelong. Ultimately it's a trivial distinction; Dangerfield and Cameron were both huge parts of Geelong's Tenth Premiership.
There are others going further back who had similar claims; George Moloney came across from Claremont in 1931 and kicked 74 goals that year as the Cats won their 2nd flag (he of course topped the ton the following season).
John Watts was big on GF day in 1963; he'd come across from WA to play with former teammate Polly Farmer...
Tommy Quinn is a hugely overlooked figure in our history imo; he came across from Port Adelaide in 1931 and was a key figure in that year's Geelong Premiership and then won his 2nd B+F with the club during the 1937 Premiership year, of which he was a key component yet again.
Anyway; Cameron is in very very fine company whichever way you look at it ... I'll spare you the re-cap on Geoff Williams and Norm Sharp coming to the club in 1952, fascinating though it is
Ottens came to us after 2004. Played half of 2005 injured, played 2006. Won a flag 2007.But you compared cameron to ottens and ottens was around for many years before he won us a flag. So if he is comparable to ottens why not danger? Danger won a brownlow has been a vastly superior player to ottens.
